Coverage is rock-solid even deep inside MRT tunnels — never dropped a call on the Circle Line. The postpaid plans are a bit pricey, but the 5G speeds I get in the CBD make it worth every cent.

As a frequent short-stay visitor, Circles.Life blew me away — fully digital sign-up, no physical SIM needed, and the data-heavy tourist add-ons are genuinely cheap. Top-up via PayNow took seconds.

StarHub's prepaid SIM is brilliant for my parents who only need basic calls and occasional data. Topping up at 7-Eleven is super convenient and the credit never expires as long as you top up every 90 days.
